Faculty, community raise questions about Algoma University suspending programs, including music
The Algoma University Faculty Association is raising questions and concerns about the suspension of admissions to five programs, particularly the music program which it said was popular and performing well. OPSEU local 685, as well as students and community leaders say the decision to not accept new students in the history, geography, sociology, visual arts and music program will have a wider impact on the Sault Ste. Marie. Interim university president Donna Rogers told a Senate meeting at the beginning of this month that those courses were identified as having low enrolment. In a news release, the faculty association said it is concerned about how the decisions were made. Professor George Townsend sat on the Senate committee that started reviewing these programs in December 2024. In the association's news release, he said he was shocked "to find out that the Board of Governors had gone ahead and made a decision before we (the Senate) had even completed our exercise." "The board made this decision based on incomplete data," he said, with Townsend adding that enrolment in music doubled this year, while salary costs were reduced. Edward Turgeon, the director of the music program, was also puzzled by the move. Turgeon had been heartened by numbers he obtained from the registrar's office that confirmed an increase in enrolment in the program from 2023-24 to 2024-25, going from 33.5 full-time equivalent students to 65.5. Additionally, he said that early this year, that he had put forward a proposal that would trim the cost of running the music program by about $60,000 a year. "So the information that I supplied in February, two months before the board made its recent decision would have placed the music program solidly in the black," he said. "We're trying to understand and faced with giving the board and giving the university these ways to make it a profitable program, this requires engagement." He said the program has contributed greatly to the community and further, with one graduate going on to be a leading conductor on Broadway. Jacob Rendell, who owns Case's Music store in Sault Ste. Marie, said they teach students who later go on to study at Algoma University, and then hires Algoma students to teach youngsters. He said not taking on more music students sends a message to future young musicians that they might want to go elsewhere. "I hear, honestly, a lot of mixed emotions from various people," he said. "At the end of the day, the university is a business. So there's an understanding that that there has to be, there's a fiscal responsibility that they have to take on." However, he said it is a shock for those in the music community. "A lot of people are kind of reeling and not really knowing what that's going to mean for the future," said Rendell. "The community of musicians here is pretty tight knit. So one of my biggest concerns is I have a long history of professional relationships and friends that actively teach music at the university, and I'm worried about the impacts on them." Algoma University in a statement said it "recognizes the value of all its academic programs and their contributions to the cultural and economic fabric of Sault Ste. Marie, Brampton and Timmins, including those currently under the one-year admissions pause. That is precisely why the University is committed to ensuring they are financially sustainable over the long term."

CBU approves 2025-26 operating budget that includes $6.8M deficit
Cape Breton University has cut some programs and will eliminate a number of positions over the next year in the face of a budget shortfall. On Tuesday, the university's board of governors passed a $106.5-million operating budget for the upcoming school year, which includes a $6.8-million deficit. Gordon MacInnis, vice-president of finance and operations at CBU, said the budget is a reflection of the federal government's decision to restrict the number of international students permitted to study in Nova Scotia. "It really has had a dramatic impact upon student enrolment across the country," said MacInnis. "Because about 77 per cent of our enrolment was international, we are disproportionately impacted and that is what you're seeing in the budget document." A couple of years ago, CBU's enrolment peaked at 9,100 students. MacInnis said that figure is now expected to drop to about 5,400 students, translating to a revenue loss of about $33 million. In an attempt to cut costs, CBU will move all of its operations back to its university campus on Grand Lake Road in Sydney. It also plans to pare at least 56 positions, 14 of which will be eliminated through attrition and by not filling vacancies. The university has already launched an early retirement incentive program for eligible employees and will not be renewing 56 term positions. MacInnis said CBU will prioritize the placement of full-time staff into new positions at the university's newly created medical campus, which is set to begin operations this summer. The university has been preparing for a decline in revenues related to the international market, said MacInnis, with CBU now expected to balance its budget by 2027-28. "The most significant risk for us is that the international markets do not rebound as we are expecting that they may over the next couple of years," he said. "And if that doesn't go well, then you know, it will certainly be another challenge that we will have to address in the coming years." Three programs have been suspended at CBU in recent months due to the decline in international student enrolment. They include two post-baccalaureate programs centred on health-care management and business management. CBU said it also expects there will be some increases in student fees in order to maintain the same student experience, although university officials did not specify how much they will go up.
